Maintenance...

I managed to go out to the airport last night and do a little work on the plane. I used some laquer thinner to remove all of the primer overspray on the rivet lines and various places on the fuselage to make the plane look better. I didn't like having gray lines all over the place.

I pulled the cowl off and checked over the engine real good. Found a small drip of oil on one of the oil cooler fittings. I tightened it a bit but I bet I'll need to disconnect the oil line and give it one good turn around before the drip stops. Everything else looks good under the cowl. Thanks to my builders inspections, I secured a lot of wires/hoses so nothing is shaking loose anywhere.

The real reason I needed to go work on the plane is to reinstall the low-level fuel sensor brain box. I couldn't get it to work so I sent it back to Rich Meske at Aircraft Extras and he fixed it for me. Apparently the box was setup for the new style sensors but I had the old style, so it was a quick fix and a quick turn around! Thanks Rich. I've been avoiding putting it back in because it means I have to crawl underneath the panel and that is never really fun. Mostly it just makes your body hurt. I managed to get it remounted on the sub-panel and hooked about half of the wires back up before my neck gave out and I called it quits for the evening. I have just a couple more wires to hook up and I can test it again.
